| Notes |
- Miss Leila, known to all became the mistress of her father's house after her mother's death. She never married and cared for her bachelor brother's Omar, Porter, and Dewitt, who were prosperous farmers. I can remember my mother affectionately speaking of Aunt Leila and her peacocks and how as an old spinster she loved to see her nieces and nephews of her sister Madge Bridgett.
The Robert Anderson Wickham home place is located close to the river and beside the railroad tracks which is now owned by Bobby Powers.

Great Aunt Leila kept a clean and beautiful house. Although she never married the Wickham homeplace was considered her household and she maintained fine and beautiful furnishings up until her death. Some items that are still maintained by the family are a pump organ, and easel. My mother, Virginia Crockett Jackson purchased from the homeplace during an auction, Great Aunt Leila's mirror. Up until my mother's death this mirror hung above out fireplace. It is now hanging in my house in the bed room above my bed. It is a beautiful gold leaf, beveled edge mirror about 4 feet in length. A treasure not only because of it's beauty, but for the family heritage.
